More breaking news, the pirates have attacked another ship, this time one of ours, but for some reason, were unable to board. No further details, yet. I guess attacking 6 ships in 24 hrs was their response to our world-wide beloved new President. They were only able to get the 3 of the ships, one is still under attack, a bunch of dolphins messed up one hijacking, and then the last one, the American ship, it is still not clear what has occured.
DixieBelle, thank you for fixorating/updating my OP. I had to go to see my specialist today. 
"Navy Thwarts Pirate Attack on U.S. Cargo Ship
The U.S. Navy successfully repelled an attack by Somali pirates who attempted to hijack an American owned cargo ship Tuesday by firing rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapons at the vessel, officials said.
No one was injured during the brazen attack, but the targeted ship was damaged, officials from Liberty Maritime Corporation of Lake Success said in a statement.
"We are grateful and pleased that no one was injured and the crew and the ship are safe," the statement from the Long Island based company said. "We have communicated with the families of the crew to inform them of these developments. We commend the entire crew for its professionalism and poise under fire."
The attack on the Liberty Sun occurred about 300 miles off the coast of Somalia, U.S. officials told NBC News.
"The pirates pretty much shot up the bridge, but no one was hurt," according to one source. The crew immediately requested assistance from the Navy, which dispatched forces that were able to thwart the pirates."
